Overview

Brief Summary

We conducted a single-blind randomized controlled trial with 90 healthy older adults who were randomly assigned into the Nordic walking (aerobic exercise), dance (dual-task training with aerobic exercise), or control group. We found that both exercise intervention groups showed improvements in executive function, while the dance group showed additional improvement in global cognitive function. The dance group showed a higher maximum gait speed and more significant improvement in imitation ability.
